Kokum is a fruit seen in the western ghats and is predominantly used in Goan cuisine. The shell of this fruit is dried and preserved to be added to curries, sharbat, etc. This has an unique flavor with sour taste and substitutes usage of tamarind in gravies. Kokum sharbat or crush is relished widely to beat the summer heat as it is very cooling to the body. It aids good digestion as well and so can be served as a welcome drink or alongside dinner.
